I think his DEF is not as bad as 53 is in PES. Due to a very offensive formation of Hoffenheim he has to defend a lot as a CM and he does this quite well. Sometimes he has to play more like DM.

I suggest a stat around 60 for this, which still would let him be one the weaker (in DEF) central midfielder of the league. For example Broich is on 60!?

I also think that he has quite good passing abilities and his SPS is IMO > than SPA. He puts a lot of speed in his passes, so I suggest to increase SPS to 81. In connection with the PAS* this will picture him very well.

DEF: 60SPS: 81

I'm also not sure about the SA, 73 is IMO very, very low for a player who is one of the best shooter of the league (midfielders only). His left foot is a weapon when he gets some space, he scored 8 (!) goals as a central midfielder this season. 75 would set him on par with Trochowski... I even think he is better than the players on the 75 stage (e.g. Kringe, Jensen). To be honest I think that (maybe except Ribery) no midfielder in the league is better in shooting (only his left foot, so WFA=5) than Salihovic.

53 in Defence reflects him quite good. He's not the midfielder winning lots of duels. And he didn't act so often in the defence and even in the center, cause he isn't really a center midfielder. He's mostly on the sides to make a long pass into the box.I still see him on par with Trochowski having 53 there.About his passing: I think you're right, his passes are filled with a good boost.About SA 73: How many goals did Salihovic out of the game? I think not more than one or two. Most of them were free-kicks and penalty-kicks, so I think 73 is here quite here as he's still too weak there in my eyes.Btw, Hans-Jörg Butt scored in one season 9 goals. Should he then have a high SA?

Hello.. I'm new here, and I want to start on this theme, and this player..

I watched really much of his games... First at all, i think that he should have one more position, and that is WB - Left. He play that position in national team..Also, I think that he deserve a biggest Shot Accuruacy (at least 84) and Shot Technique (at least 82)..

I've been followin Bundesliga regularly for last 2 season and I can say I'm really impressed the way Sejad plays. He seems to me solid midfielder in terms of strenght and really surprised to see that his balance in not on yellow numbers. I believe he can be par with Jurica Vranjes or Mladen Petric whose balances are 81. Besides he's firing rockets when he's taking free kicks from long distances I think his shot tech can be better than 76. Not sure if he's good enough to get 80 but I think he might get 77/78.

Agree with increas in curl, though the vid Radio_Killa posted was not as good as an example if some Hoffenheim highlights could be located, where on several occasions he bend it over the wall and had the ball 'splash' on the ground (juninho style) making very difficult for a keeper to get his body behind it. Even cracked one off the base of the post after dipping it over a wall from only some 22-25 meters!

Thought 85 enough last year, but in PES I could not replicate those fks on a few attempts, hopefully 88 does the trick.

Do you think so i don´t think they are so easy but the most time i shot better with player with a low rating then with player they have a high rating most of the time the Free Kick style decided if i score or not.

@ Topic: I think his Free Kick Accuracy is underated and his Curl, too
